Cinderfall

game · 2026

Grand strategy prototype in Godot. You're not trying to win the war so much as not lose it too fast.

Problem

I didn't want another map-painter where you snowball. The pitch was managing decline (resources drying up, worlds slipping) and I needed the map and the turn loop to exist before I touched combat.

What I built

Phase 1 is in. Ten worlds on a solar map, four resources, factions, saves, next-turn income. Combat is the next chunk. It's Godot 4 and GDScript.

Highlights

Solar map, ten worlds, void lanes
Four resources and per-faction themes
Saves, turns, event bus between systems
Combat still ahead. This is the strategy layer
